The etiology, presentation, and surgical management are reviewed. Three abdominal aortic aneurysms were infected during urinary tract sepsis and one infection occurred with Salmonella septicemia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Cloutier presented a modified intent-to-treat analysis comprising 388 of these. They were randomized to plazomicin 15 mg/kg every 25 hours or to IV meropenem 1 gram every 24 hours. [mdedge.com]

Gastrointestinal
- Abdominal Mass
The clinical triad of fever, abdominal pain, and a pulsatile abdominal mass led to a preoperative diagnosis in three of four patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
[…] bacteria and assign scores to each as shown: Lactobacillus (score, 0-4) Bacteroides / Gardnerella (score, 0-4) Mobiluncus (score, 0-2) Total scores are calculated and interpreted as follows: 0-3: Normal 4-6: Intermediate bacterial count 7-10: BV See Workup [emedicine.com]
Serum
- Creatinine Increased
More patients taking plazomicin experienced a serum creatinine clearance increase of at least 0.5 mg/dL during treatment (7% vs. 4%). All but two patients taking plazomicin experienced a full recovery by the last follow-up visit. [mdedge.com]

Treatment
Everyone, regardless of treatment group, could also receive meropenem or tigecycline if deemed necessary. Treatment lasted 7-14 days. [mdedge.com]
Initial therapies consistent with MST could result in reduced in-hospital mortality, treatment failure rate, infection-related death, percentages of patients needing therapy adjustment, and daily hospitalization cost with increased successful treatment [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
[…] do not need treatment BV occurring in pregnant women should be treated Treatment before cesarean delivery, total abdominal hysterectomy, or insertion of an IUD is also recommended Uncomplicated cases typically resolve after standard antibiotic treatment [emedicine.com]
Prognosis
But for patients with MDR infection, adjustment relying on MST gained more benefit than non-MDR infection.Appropriate initial therapy significantly improved the prognosis of patients with gram-negative bacterial infections, but improvement was not that [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
What Is the Prognosis for a Person Infected With NDM-1 Producing Bacteria? The prognosis (outcome) for a person infected with NDM-1 is related to the patient's overall condition at the time of diagnosis and appropriate treatment. [emedicinehealth.com]
Prognosis Uncomplicated cases of bacterial vaginosis (BV) typically resolve after the standard antibiotic treatment. Mortality/Morbidity The prognosis for uncomplicated cases of bacterial vaginosis is generally excellent. [emedicine.com]
Prognosis In most patients, the prognosis is excellent. With appropriate therapy, complete recovery is usually attained. Patient Education Patients should be instructed about proper hygiene, which is a primary preventive measure. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Prognosis is frequently worse. Resistance to multiple antibiotic classes, including carbapenems, is growing and it compromises prophylaxis and treatment options. [link.springer.com]
Etiology
The etiology, presentation, and surgical management are reviewed. Three abdominal aortic aneurysms were infected during urinary tract sepsis and one infection occurred with Salmonella septicemia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Overview Practice Essentials Bacterial vaginosis (BV), or nonspecific vaginitis, was named because bacteria are the etiologic agents and an associated inflammatory response is lacking. [emedicine.com]
Enterotoxigenic (ETEC): This is the most common etiology (~50%) of traveler’s diarrhea. It is found mostly in tropical or developing countries. [clinicaladvisor.com]
H. pylori -- the once controversial but today widely recognized cause of peptic ulcers -- is also regarded as a possible culprit in the etiology of dementia. [holisticprimarycare.net]
